International Women's Day is a holiday of spring, flowers, tenderness, worldly wisdom and care, on which all representatives of the fair half of humanity, from the youngest to the elderly, are congratulated. Maxim Gorky wrote: “From love for a woman, everything beautiful on earth was born.” The eighth of March is the time to remind all mothers, grandmothers and other relatives and friends of your love, respect and care.

Appearing as a day of women’s struggle for their rights, today is a holiday when all representatives of the fair half of humanity are honored, regardless of age, profession and socio-political activity. We’ll tell you in our article how to organize a great celebration of March 8th at school so that both teachers and schoolgirls will like it, as well as what gifts to choose.

History of the celebration of March 8

International Women's Day appeared thanks to women's rallies in the United States. It was on this day in 1908 that representatives of a social democratic women's organization took to the streets of New York demanding a shorter working day and equalization of wages with men's. One of the American women's demands was to grant women the right to vote. A year later, National Women's Day was declared in America.

A major role in the establishment of International Women's Day was played by the German communist Clara Zetkin, who spoke in 1910 at the Second Social Democratic Women's Conference in Denmark. This holiday was supposed to be a day of rallies, processions and political movements designed to draw people's attention to the problems of women and their role in society.

A year later, women's marches took place in four countries: Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Denmark. And in 1913, several more countries joined the celebration, including Russia. Today, the Eighth of March is celebrated all over the world; the holiday has lost its political connotation and has become an officially non-working day in a number of states.

Now International Women's Day is one of the brightest and most joyful official holidays. Born as a day glorifying active women in predominantly male professions, it has now become a celebration of feminine charm and awakening nature. It is celebrated in many institutions where gifts are given to women.

• Congratulations on March 8 to elementary school students. Primary school age (grades 1-4) is a time when the main force in a child’s development is learning; it is at this time that girls and boys are most interested in the world around them, how it works. Girls of this age are quite active, they love to compete with each other and play. It is also important for them to receive praise and gratitude from teachers and classmates.
• What girl doesn’t want to become the best craftswoman, housewife and fashionista? Therefore, an excellent option for celebrating would be an event with active culinary, hairdressing, modeling and other competitions, for each of which prizes will be awarded. Girls can be asked to prepare canapés, braid their hair at speed, or make their own outfits from scrap materials, such as bags, newspapers or plastic bottles. Boys can prepare an interesting performance with dances, songs and poems. This special day will end with a tea party.
• Congratulations on March 8 to high school students. The transitional age (grades 5-8) is called the most difficult in the life of every girl. All teenagers are prone to maximalism, violent emotions and a special pursuit of fashion; it is important for them to please their classmates and be popular.
• An excellent scenario for the holiday will be a beauty contest, where every schoolgirl will be able to show off her talents. It can take place in several stages: a cooking competition (meals will be prepared in advance), a quick-wittedness competition with logical tasks and puzzles, a modeling competition (you will need to walk like a model), a dance competition, etc.
• The latest fashion trend is stylized celebrations; this option will appeal to most teenage girls. Craftswomen from Ancient Rus', ancient nymphs or guests from the future - topics can be chosen by voting. As a result of the competition, each young beauty will receive her own title (“Miss Smile”, “Miss Charm”, etc.) and a gift on March 8th.
• Congratulations on March 8th to high school girls. Senior school age (grades 9-11) is a time when every child tries to understand himself and determine his future, because admission to university is just around the corner. A girl of this age period is looking for her place in life, trying to understand herself and her desires.
